The 1962 Peru 50 Gold Soles – Seated Liberty coin is a classic South American gold coin from the Republic of Peru, combining a substantial gold content with a striking historical design. Minted at the Lima Mint, it belongs to the renowned Peruvian Gold Soles series, prized for its elegant design, high gold content, and international collectability. <\/p>\n
The Seated Liberty side depicts the seated figure of Liberty with a staff and liberty cap. To the left is a shield with a radiant sun face, and to the right a fasces-like symbol with a wreath. The inscription states the face value “Cincuenta Soles Oro” as well as the gold content. This gives this side a classic, symbolic, and typical appearance, typical of the republican coinage tradition of Latin America. <\/p>\n
The obverse of the coat of arms displays the Peruvian national emblem featuring a vicu\u00f1a, cinchona tree, and cornucopia. The emblem is surrounded by laurel and palm branches, with the inscription “Republica Peruana” above and “Lima” below. The inscription also indicates the gold purity of nine-tenths, or 900\/1000 gold. <\/p>\n
With a total weight of 23.4056 g and 0.6773 oz of pure gold, this 50-sole gold coin is significantly heavier than many smaller historical gold issues. This makes it particularly interesting for collectors who seek not only a beautiful design but also a solid gold base. At the same time, the 1962 issue is an attractive piece for collectors of South American gold coins, historical world gold coins, and classic Libertad\/Liberty designs. <\/p>\n
